Tractor Beam

A tractor beam is the key to efficient salvage. Cargo is usually found after a battle, waiting for collection. Items collected are automatically added to your manifest. The energy drain is 4 GJ / second.

Tractor Beam

This system locks onto retrievable objects and pulls them into your ship. A tractor beam is especially useful if you are making a living as a pirate. After blowing up merchants and other ships carrying valuable cargo, you can retrieve the goods and sell them for a handsome profit.

Appearances
